In the new Lifetime drama series DEVIOUS MAIDS, executive producers Marc Cherry and Eva Longoria hope that lightning will strike twice, making their new series a must-see event for television viewers everywhere. The difference being that whereas their former series DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES focused on the lives of women of means living every day life on Wisteria Lane, this time the focus is on five women who cater to the every day whims of the rich and famous of Beverly Hills. It is the flipside of the good life — and life on the other side of the kitchen door is not easy. It sometimes means taking literal abuse while trying to endure the daily grind of living as a virtual slave to others. [Read more…]

TV NOW: How Important is the “Water-Coolerness” Factor for Today’s Television?
With the rapidly changing face of television (in the way it is consumed and the way it is made available), it is hard to define just what is “television” today.
